BREAKING:The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on major trading partners, ruling 6–3 on Friday, February 20, 2026 that he overstepped his authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose broad import duties.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority that tariff power belongs to Congress, not the president, signaling a major setback for Trump’s trade agenda and limiting how far emergency powers can be stretched for big economic moves.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh dissented. The ruling could also trigger fresh legal battles over what happens to billions in tariffs already collected, including possible refund claims.#BreakingNews, #SCOTUS, #Trump, #Tariffs

How Unverified Onitsha Claims Fueled Trump’s “Christian Genocide” Narrative and US Airstrikes in Nigeria

This report exposes how unverified data from Emeka Umeagbalasi, an Onitsha-based screwdriver seller and activist, influenced powerful US politicians and former President Donald Trump’s claims of a “Christian genocide” in Nigeria. Despite relying largely on secondary sources, assumptions, and Google searches, his figures were cited by US lawmakers and echoed in rhetoric that helped justify US airstrikes in Nigeria. Investigations by The New York Times and experts reveal major flaws, confirmation bias, and exaggerated statistics, noting that Nigeria’s insecurity affects both Christians and Muslims.

Trump Threatens Iran Over Deaths of Protesters, Keeps Military Options Open

US President Donald Trump has strongly condemned the killing of thousands of protesters in Iran and warned that all options, including military action, remain on the table.

In a statement posted by the US Department of State, Trump said that while protests are acceptable, the mass killings and executions reported in Iran are unacceptable.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the administration is prioritising diplomacy but is also prepared to consider air strikes or other strong measures if the situation escalates. She noted that Iran’s private communications with US envoy Steve Witkoff show a different tone from their public statements, highlighting ongoing behind-the-scenes diplomatic contacts.

Rights groups report that the death toll continues to rise, with access to information in Iran limited due to an internet shutdown. Trump indicated that Iran’s leaders requested a meeting, but action may be taken before any formal talks if the killings continue.

The situation underscores rising tensions between Washington and Tehran, with the US emphasizing both human rights concerns and strategic readiness.
